Cold Bath Street by A.J. Hartley
4.0
This is not something that I would normally pick up but what drew me to this book was the setting. The book is set near to where I live which made me intrigued to pick it up.
The book follows Preston Oldcorn who is killed within the first few pages of the book. We follow his time in the afterlife where there is an evil spirit that wants to consume him. This spirit is powerful and has the ability to go into the world of the living and is the reason that Preston is dead.
I liked the setting of this book there is something really good about seeing a place you know being written about. I liked how the author used local ghost stories to create this book. I enjoy local history and it was interesting to read the author's notes at the end to see what had inspired him.
I also really liked the illustrations in this book I thought they really added to the atmosphere of the story.
